Bruins Host \"Fan Appreciation Day\" and \"Shirts off their Backs\" on April 9

BOSTON, MA - The Boston Bruins will host "Fan Appreciation Day" during the Bruins/Senators contest at the TD Garden on Saturday, April 9 at 1:00 p.m. ET, in an effort to thank fans for their continued support throughout the 2010-11 season.

Immediately following the Bruins/Senators game, Bruins players will remain on the ice and throw t-shirts into the stands, then hand 23 fans that were chosen throughout the game the "Shirt off their Backs". Each of these lucky Bruins fans will receive a sealed envelope containing the name of a current Bruins player they will meet that afternoon. After the t-shirt toss these fans will participate in the on-ice ceremony where they will meet and take home the game-worn autographed jersey of that player.

In addition to winning the "Shirts off their Backs," Bruins fans will enjoy an exciting day of giveaways. Upon arrival, every fan will receive a Bruins team poster courtesy of TD Bank. Throughout the game, Bruins fans will have the opportunity to win a variety of prizes including VIP ticket packages, lunch with Rene Rancourt and a trip to the 2011 NHL awards in Las Vegas with flights on AirTran.

The 2010-2011 Boston Bruins season is presented by the Massachusetts State Lottery. Fans interested in learning more about Boston Bruins players, or ticket options, should visit the team website at www.bostonbruins.com or call 617.624.BEAR (2327).
